Group 7-day waking average?

Good morning all 🙂 and today it's a 4.7 😎.
 
Morning all.
8.2 today - no idea why. I think my new nova rapid which I started yesterday lunchtime may have been compromised on my trip. Will try another to see if any better.
Have a relaxing Sunday all.
 
Good morning 9.9o_O don`t know where that came from, 2 units of NR down to 5.6 now.🙂 Its a dull but dry day temp 13.C, didn`t get on board yesterday:( just got too busy. Went to the Chemist two carriers of medication not including insulin, Iceland, Lidl and Wetherspoons,😳:D fun and games with one young lad in the gents he was very drunk and trying to have a wee, funniest thing I`ve seen in a long time.:D

Good luck tomorrow Amanda.🙂

Enjoy the rest of your day folks, take care.🙂
 
Morning all, late on parade today, family staying, so didn’t have a chance to get on the ipad before going riding this morning (too busy chatting).

Tried an experiment last night, as it was the last night of my Libre and a i’ll be back on finger pricks for a while. I’ve been reducing my night time basal to try and stop the steep drop towards 3am, and I'd got down to 1.5 units at bed time (4.5 in the morning, last bolus was taken ahead of tea at 5.30pm, so nothing of that left on board)). So I cast caution to the winds and didn’t do any basal at bedtime.
The result? 7.4 at bedtime, 7.6 when I woke up.....and a steep drop off the cliff towards 3am, with a rise from then, and a continued rise all morning (10.7 by 10am, whilst waiting for morning basal and breakfast bolus to kick in). So whatever causes my drop, it isn’t my nighttime basal!

Congrats on the 'Golden HS' @Northerner. Deffo worth a special award!
 
Hello folks, been missing for a couple of days.

Got a new phone and had not set up all the apps.

But up and running.

4 years ago my new Samsung 6 cost £72 a month for unlimited everything.
2 years ago my new Hauwei Honor 9 cost £50 a month for unlimited everything.
So on Tuesday I decided, after much research, to go for a new Samsung A70, £33 a month for unlimited everything.

Question is in 2 years will I be able to take out a new contract for just £20 a month..........

And if you are wondering, it is on the Three network.

Hope everyone is well xxx
 
I used to have 3; had problems with their tech.
I've been buying phones (at the bottom end) instead of on contract, and it's going the other way for me.
Mind you, with the tablets (delayed gratification failure) I think I got a good deal with a contact. Data cheaper than with a phone, and the tablet (with a bigger screen) included. My latest tablet (Samsung) actually works as a phone. And it works out £0.50 than getting a SIM card and putting it in a phone you already own.
It's on Vodafone. And open, so I can put any network in, including a phone sim. My phone phone is a basic one from 2010. I sold my smart phones.
I miss my Hauwi :(
 
I think a lot depends on what you need to use a ohone/tablet for.

Locally Vodafone gets a terrible name.
EE is ridiculously expensive. I have always had really good tech and customer service and as the cheapest.
Chuffed.
 
Good morning all I've got a 7.0 this morning hope every one has a good day
 
Good morning folks. 5.0 with a nice flatfish since around 2 am.
 
It’s cold today - don’t want to get up or go out to work is quite like to stay in the warm

a flat fish over night but around 7.5 and 8.4 currently.

Hope everyone has a good day whatever you’re doing.
 
Morning all 🙂, today it is a 4.8 😎.
 
Morning all, 5.0 here, back on the finger stabbing, and had to haul myself out of bed to test at 3am. (don’t like to disturb OH by putting the bedroom light on. I was 3.3, first proper nighttime hypo for a while, I overdid the basal) I miss my libre already!
 
Morning

A not so good 7.3 for me, don't know if its due to being due my contraceptive injection tomorrow OR my grandad taking not well yesterday and rather than a charity that's supposed to help people they put him home to be on his own rather than call to get him seen, sent me a message on Facebook though, yeah I'm not permanently on Facebook! He does a lot for them yet they took no responsibility in getting him seen to so I'm rather fuming!

Have a nice day folks
xx

I'll be popping up to see him soon, we phoned NHS 24 when I was finally aware there was something wrong with him but was going to be at least a half hour wait to even speak to a call handler so I got on the phone to my Auntie (who I don't talk to!) and asked if her husband could come through and take him to the MIU 15 miles away, he has a really bad chest infection! He really didn't sound or look well at all so I'm disappointed that the Salvation Army thought it just fine to take him home and put him in his bed! Especially when the message read "he was not very well and very sick" anything could've happened to him while he was on his own :( he sounded and looked better last night after antibiotics and paracetamol though so hopefully he's on the road to recovery, thank you! xx
 
Morning. Still darkish at nearly 8.30! A very nice 5.9 today. No wine was imbibed yesterday! Just pottering about today, nothing exciting. Just how I like it. Have a happy Monday. 🙂
 
Good morning everyone. 3.2 this morning and that's after reducing my basal by 10 units over the last ten days!! Really not looking forwards to going to London Moorfields Glaucoma clinic today. Dread the results, it is like a cattle market at that clinic and there's always the risk of the clinic being cancelled but not finding out you've travelled all the way to get there.
